Help me understand

All company drivers are miserable? All company drivers don't make money? All FedEx drivers are miserable? Did you ask every driver out here? You just talking to be heard man

 

OK. Instead of being a cry out baby #####ing here of life misery go get your authority and a niche that comes with it.

 

Well I can give an insight but I would only be repeating what everyone else said. You clearly don't want to try to understand other people's point of view. You must have been an owner operator for less than a year.

 

Why do I lease on with a company? Probably won't help you "understand", but here goes.

The MAIN reason is, I drop the load, send in the paperwork and I'm paid in 15 minutes to 2 hours. On occasion, it may take 3 or 4 hours. I don't have to call the customer or broker and beg/bribe/threaten them to get my money 6 months later. No hiring lawyers to get paid. Nope, the company worries about that. My stress level stays down that way.

And one perk most don't think about, I get a really good discount on fuel. Do your math. Figure out how much you spend (pump pricing) for one year. Now, how much would be in your bank account if you paid 30 or more cents per gallon less? Maybe the folks running their own numbers can get discounts too. But I'm led to believe that to not be the case.

 

He is a waste of time. He is entitled to a niche and happiness. He knows everything already. F. it I am out of here.

 

I'm not fighting the misunderstanding. You are. It's one thing if you buy your own truck and sign on with a company. It's another thing to do the fleece purchase. While some have been successful in doing the fleece, that should be where your real misunderstanding is. That's where the companies can hustle drivers. High truck notes? Convincing drivers with no capital to do this scam? Taking advantage of people with no business sense? Your question should be rerouted
